SO I got this book and I guess I should write in it, not that I think writing about my life is something I NEED to do but I figure why waits a perfectly good book. So I guess I will starts with, Me Sebastian Grimeera, Vampire and trouble maker. I am feared by many for being what I am, which comes in handy when you’re a trouble maker, its just so east, I remember the first time I scared someone, I was about six or something and I ran away from my mother and I came across a small town, I walked into the town and people just started grabbing there children and running into there houses or stores or whatever was closest, I’m not quite sure what they thought a six your old was gonna do, maybe I was going to want my momma them to death or something, who knows, coz I sure as hell no a single six year old vampire couldn’t take on the whole town. It really upset me, when I was six that is, I didn’t understand why people ran away from me, I was a child, it just made me think there was something gravely wrong with me, little did I know it wasn’t ME that was the problem. Its actually really easy to explain, its like a story, One person tells the story to there grandchild, then that grandchild passes it on to there grand child, then them to there’s and so on through generations, and what started out as a true story about a girl and her dog ends up a story about a girl who saved another girl from a pack of savage wolves, then people fear wolves and call them savage and forever more kill what they fear, no one wants there child to be mauled by a pack of wolves now do they, However in reality a lone wolf or a pack of wolves will never attack for no purpose, they do not wait around in the dark wood waiting for some un suspecting person to go roaming alone in the forest and then attack with no reason. Wolves will attack if threatened or for food, Now wolf attacks are something that happens, People kill off rabbits and deer and other animals for food as wolves do, but people are greedy, they take more than they need, what are the wolves excepted to do, if all there natural food is gone, they will hunt what is around and people will call them monsters for trying to survive. That is how I have lived, Just the word Vampire is enough to make people’s skin crawl, Well guess what, I DO drink blood and I COULD kill people if I so wished, but I don’t, in fact I know very few Vampires that have ever even tasted anything other than animal blood, oh yeah and vampires eat food, and shower and sleep and hurt and feel despite what people are lead to believe. I was hated from as far back as I can remember, no one wanted to know me and I wanted to know everyone, that was at first, the other vampire children refused to play with me because I would always talk about how I wanted to go into the town and see the people there, and often I would go but I would get the same reaction each time. At first I would come home and I would cry but eventually I learned to hate these people, how dare they call my family monsters, how dare they comment on things they do not understand. I didn’t stop going to town, I kept going just to make them all hide, I would then have the whole town to myself. Oh except for the odd occasion someone would come out and start waving crosses at me, it took a few years before I found out somehow people thought that a cross would make me run off screaming, oh and there were others, what is it I herd, oh Vampires have no soul, a vampire can only be killed by a steak through the heart, a silver bullet, daylight or fire, I would like to state that none of that is true, Firstly, If I had no heart how the hell an I walking around, My blood runs as cold as the dead granted, I am living dead as they would put it, however It is impossible to do basically anything without a heart, also yes a steak through the heart, which may I point out would be impossible if I had no heart, would kill me, and so would a silver bullet but who wouldn’t that kill, sunlight is awesome warm, I love daylight, Vampires only come out at night because that is what people have forced them to do. Okay now I got that off my chest, and ohh boy did I need to get that off my cheat I will say what I am capable of, I can love, I love my family very much, I can crawl on roofs upside down, I do have extreme speed and strength and oh I have no reflection but I DO have a soul, I have no idea where that came from, I guess it’s the siring thing, well that’s another thing that IS true but scarcely practiced, Siring was something done many millennia ago when there was a war between the mystic races, Vampires were little in number so they just did what they had to too have a fighting chance. Anyways now I’ve had my little bitch about how shallow people can be I will also say I have met one or two people who were very nice to me up until they found out i was a Vampire, that was what made me become the biggest self confessed troublemaker around, if people are to be afraid of me regardless I might as well give them reason, I have trained my whole life to fight and when people try to take me on I don’t kill them, I kick there ass’s of course, but I do not kill them, no I just humiliate them in front of everyone, this one guy said some nasty shit about my mother, now you never say something bad about my momma unless you either want to be dead or to be left to never forget that you crossed me. I wouldn’t say I’m a horrible Vampire, I would just say that I’m a guy that has been pushed to my limits by ignorance, well back to this man who said shit about my momma, he wound up with one leg missing and without to ability to re-produce, it may seem harsh but as I said before, I have been pushed to far and I feel no remorse for my actions! The way I figured it, they wanted a monster so I gave em one. It was a long time after that before anyone tried to challenge me, even with there stupid crosses. I think it was when I was fifteen, I was challenged again, I was happily walking through town and there was a group of guys all hooting and cheering like a bunch of jerks and I wanted to see what was going on so I turned myself invisible and I walks over to get a look, These guys would have had to be maybe nineteen years old and they were pushing this girl no older than sixteen around, grabbing at her and calling her all kinds of names. Normally I would not interfere in what these people would do among themselves, but I was not going to stand idly by and let a group of guys push this girl around. I took my invisibility off and I warned to guys to leave the girl along, now these guys had some balls, they appeared to not fear me its weird because these boys are the ones that SHOULD have feared me, While four of the guys started coming for me the firth held the girl, I was hit a few times with bats or pipes or anything else they were holding but one by one I took the four guys out, then I looked at the fifth, he let go of the girl and ran off, I’d say he was the smarted of the lot of them. After the fifth guy had ran off the girl looked at me, she thanked me and she took a step back as I took a step towards her, I shook my head this hurt, I’m not big on admitting when things hurt me, but this hurt, I just saved this girls life and she still feared me, I shook my head and I sighed then I looked her clean in the eyes and I said “what did I ever do to make you fear me, I just saved you and still you want nothing more than to run as far and as fast as you can even while I’m talking” I sighed and turned around and walked away, after a few steps I turned to look back and the girl was no where to be seen so I just headed back home, that was the day the people had found my home, my being in town had saved my life, everything was destroyed and there were vampires dead everywhere. I was the last vampire, there was no one else left, so not only was I hated for no reason but I was alone to boot. Well I was livid, I ripped a mans leg off for calling my momma a few nasty names, Killing her, well this meant war, I buried my friends and family one by one, it took days and the people who had been killed in my families self defense I threw in a pile to rot, that lasted about two days before I took the things off of them like jewelry and other such possessions then I buried them as well, I did not bury them so they could pass over or whatever happened when your died, am I defiantly didn’t do it though respect for these people, I did it because to each body was at least one person who would be feeling the same as I did. I packed the possessions in a bag and I headed back into town invisibly, when I got there the people were having a ceremony for the people who did not return, I sat and watched for a while and I herd a voice call out “They should never have gone, there was no reason” which got a lot of replies from every direction about how vampires should all be killed regardless and other suck garbage. I walked into the middle of the crowed still invisible and I jumped up onto the state they had to honor some person from centuries ago, I took my invisibility off and I looked around as people gasped and commented, I also cast a shield so that what I had to say would have to be herd by everyone, no one could leave until I un did my spell. I told everyone to shut up and they did it remarkably fast, then I stood on the statue and I said

“You people are such hypocrites, you call my species monsters and say we deserve to be killed, I personally am the only vampire that has ever even come into this town and I have never done anything unless I was provoked by someone here first, you people who think you are so perfect who attack your own kind, let large men attack small girls let husbands beat wives and friends betray friends, who have people randomly kill for no purpose at all, its all just a sick game, but you call Vampires monsters, Well you should all take a good look at yourselves, YOUR people came to my home and killed my whole family, all the vampires besides me, tell me if the vampires are so terrible how did sixteen men kill off over one hundred vampires, I am 15 years old and I had to go home to find everyone dead, can you imagine what you would do if you had the same, I could take you all out right now, I could so easily shrink my spell until it crushed every last bone in your bodies, but I am not like you, I will never be like you, I am here to give you your loved ones belongings and tell you who the real monsters are, for example the other ay I saved a young girls life, and what did I get in return, she feared me, I have done nothing to give her reason to fear me but still she did, you people are pathetic, you live a pathetic existence and you should all be ashamed of yourselves”

then I emptied the belongings out on the ground and I took my spell off and I was about to leave when a guy walked up and held up a large mirror and he said “Look, you say you are no monster then why can you not see yourself in a mirror” I jumped down and I grabbed the mirror and I smashed it then I picked up a shard and I held it up “Maybe I’ve never wanted to see myself” I said to the guy calmly “Maybe your people have made me think I’m a monster” I said then I dropped the mirror and walked off, by this time most of the people were hiding again, and the others were keeping there distance, everyone besides a girl no older then maybe seven, she ran up and picked up the shard of mirror I had just dropped then she ran up to me and tugged in the bottom of my shirt, I stopped and turned around and looked down at the little girl and she held the mirror up and it shimmered and she said something I wont forget “Scuse me mr, I don’t think you’re a monster, an I can see you in the mirror” I looked at the mirror and I saw the people behind me, then I started to see something appearing in the mirror, my reflection was slowly appearing, it didn’t take to long before I could totally see myself, I picked up a different shard of mirror and I couldn’t see myself, the little girl smiled at me and said “This mirror sees the truth” and she handed it to me then ran off to her house, I took one last look at everyone them I ran back as fast as I could to my now empty home with the mirror. I was alone right up until I was almost half way through my sixteenth year, that’s when I was the most strange thing, this girl appeared in a flash of white light, it was so bright I could see all the way to the town in the middle of the night, the girl smiled at me and she said “My name is Annie, one day you will hear about me but not today, I am just here to guide you, to tell you that your an amazing person and that one day you will see more amazing things than you could imagine, I know you have questions Sebastian but I am only here to give an answer to the questions you don’t realize yet” I looked at her like she was nuts and I asked her what she was talking about and she giggled and said “when you want the answers there is one place to look and several to remember, you are special don’t fight who you are when the time comes, look past the beauty” then she smiles again and disappeared as quickly as she had came. As if I needed more reason to think I was alone now I was imagining things, angels or ghosts or whatever she was, I didn’t get it then and I still don’t get it now, though I guess it was even more of a freak out one my seventeenth birthday when the little girl who had shown me the mirror walked into my home and looked up at me with a huge smile, she walked over and hugged me, can I add that I was incredibly uncomfortable, she hugged me and she smiled and she said that I should start to pack I want to leave before the storm, then she handed me a few things, she handed me a frame that was exactly right to fit my shard of mirror, this book and a note she said not to open until she left, she wished me luck then she ran to the door, she opens it then turns back and told me that she didn’t fear me then she ran off back to town I assume. After she left I opened the note and the first thing it said was “Write in the journal” which is the real reason I’m writing in this book and the second thing it said was “when you want the answers there is one place to look and several to remember, you are special and don’t fight who you are when the time comes

Your path is your own, though you will share it with others along the way, others like you”

So now I have written in the book and I have packed my things so lets just see where this path of mine is gonna take me.
